Kids & Youth

In a cooperation with VFL Wolfsburg, the International Football Film Festival in Berlin is staging a parallel festival aimed at children and young people, including school groups. 11mm has also compiled an annotated “Football Film Canon” of appropriate movies for all types of schools and age groups.

Children and young people play a central role in the football-film genre – which is one main reason why 11mm is directly targeting them as an audience and trying to support schools’ efforts to include film in their curricula. Visiting the festival helps teach school children to watch and appreciate films as valuable cultural products. They also gain theoretical and practical knowledge about both cinema and sports. This initiative is supervised and guided by the educational specialist at the fan project of the Sportyouth Berlin.
